Question

what is the slope of the line that passes through the points 6 -10 and 3 and -13 what is the answer and simpler form

Answer 1

( 6, -10) AND (3 , -13)

Step 1

name parameter

x1 = 6 y1 = -10

x2 = 3 y2 = -13

Step 2

Write formula and substitute

`\begin{gathered} \text{Slope = }(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) \\ =\text{ }\frac{-13\text{ -(-10)}}{3\text{ - 6}} \\ =\text{ }(-3)/(-3) \\ =\text{ 1} \end{gathered}`

Slope = 1
